Description

The invention relates to a seat and / or reclining furniture, in particular a upholstered furniture, which has at least one substructure for supporting the sitting and / or lying furniture and further at least one sitting and / or lying element, wherein the sitting and / or lying element at least one Seating part for forming a seat, at least one foot part for laying feet or lower leg areas and at least one mehrgliedrig formed backrest for leaning.

For the purposes of the present invention, seated and / or reclining furniture can be understood as single-seat or multi-seat seating and / or reclining furniture in upholstered or unpadded design. In particular, in padded versions, the seat and / or reclining furniture described here can be fully upholstered, for example, with a padded substructure, thus attached to seat part, footboard and back upholstery elements or other joining parts, which are movably or immovably attached or attachable. In an unpadded embodiment, for example, backrests or armrests made of wood or the like may be formed and / or the substructure may also be performed at least partially unpadded.

From the prior art, for example, in the DE 20 2005 016 129 U1 Seat and / or reclining furniture known which have a fixed backrest. In addition, an imageable and attachable movably mounted second backrest is provided, wherein both backrests are connected to one another via fitting elements. The second backrest can be moved in its position via a lifting or pivoting device.

Furthermore, the disclosure DE 20 2007 013 545 U1 also a sitting and / or reclining furniture with an adjustable backrest, which is formed in two parts. By appropriate pivoting of the first backrest part, the seat can be reduced and reduced accordingly. This describes the DE 20 2007 013 545 U1 a fitting system, the individual fitting elements are of different lengths to allow the corresponding pivoting of the first backrest part.

Both known seating and / or reclining furniture is common that only the backrest is designed to be changeable in position. However, this is disadvantageous for sitting on the seat and / or reclining furniture persons, since thus no comfortable and comfortable seating position, namely with raised legs, can be taken. Both known seating and / or reclining furniture require a separate stool or a separate footrest. If then the backrest to be adjusted accordingly, it is still necessary to get up in the known sitting and / or lying furniture, and to change the backrest accordingly in their position. Consequently, the operation and handling of the known seating and / or reclining furniture is disadvantageous and complicated.

Therefore, the present invention seeks to provide a sitting and / or reclining furniture, which allows a wider Tiefeneinstellbereich the seating and / or lying surface and this can be easily and conveniently implemented.

This object is achieved according to the features of the protection claim 1.

An essential point of the invention is that the backrest of the seat and / or reclining furniture according to the invention has at least a first, lower backrest part and a second, upper backrest part, and both backrest parts are connected to each other via a latching fitting carrier and movably mounted on the latter first backrest portion rod-shaped or strip-shaped fitting elements, which are hinged on the one hand to the latching fitting carrier via an upper bearing of the front or inside fitting element and the rear or outside fitting element, and which on the other hand via a respective lower bearing of the front or inside fitting element and the rear or The outside fitting element are hinged to a support, wherein the carrier with a bottom on and / or in a frame part of the substructure or on and / or in the substructure of the sitting and / or reclining furniture befe Stigt, wherein in each position of use of the seat and / or lying element, the upper bearing of the rear or outside fitting element is arranged at the same height as the bearing of the front or inside fitting element and wherein after transfer of the sitting and / or lying element from the first use position in a second, further use position, at least the first backrest part another backrest inclined position and / or the foot part has a different pivoting position than in the first use position, wherein the backrest and foot part are coupled together via a power transmission linkage.

According to the invention, the first use position is to be understood, for example, as a seating position with a shortened seat depth. Furthermore, it is advantageous under second, further use position to understand a reclining position with increased seat depth.

In order to increase the seating comfort for users significantly, an increased seat depth in the second use position, ie in the lying position, desired. Thus, the user can take a particularly comfortable and pleasant relaxation posture. At the same time, the foot part is advantageously also pivoted from the first use position, in which the foot part is usually folded into the substructure, into a second use position. In the second position of use of the foot part, the user can place his feet or lower leg areas comfortably on the pivoted foot part and in combination with the increased seat depth and the back, tilted backrest take a particularly pleasant posture. This combination of change of the backrest inclination and pivoting position of the foot part is implemented via a power transmission linkage. Advantageously, therefore, a change in the backrest inclined position at the same time a pivoting position of the foot part.

In order to make the sitting and / or lying position even more individual and flexible, the present invention describes for the first time the combination of the power transmission linkage disclosed above with an individually adjustable backrest. For this purpose, the second, upper backrest part at least two, advantageously at least four, hinges for modular inclination change of the second backrest part. Advantageously, the hinges are designed as hinges or locking fittings.

In the simplest case, the second, upper backrest part is formed by two spaced-apart, vertically extending frame members. It is advantageous per frame member a pivot, for example a detent fitting provided. The hinge may be arranged, for example, at the lower end of the other frame spar and connect the respective frame spar with the locking fitting carrier.

It is also conceivable that the rotary joint is part of the latching fitting carrier. Alternatively and / or additionally, it is conceivable that the rotary joint and / or another rotary joint subdivide the frame spars into two or more frame spar sections. These frame beam sections can be the same length or have a different length from each other. It has been found advantageous to form the upper frame spar section shorter than the lower, further frame spar section. The upper frame member portion is then formed in this embodiment as a headrest. This can be operated individually and easily with relatively short frame spar section and pivoted.

Consequently, a frame spar can have multiple hinges. These hinges serve to change the inclination of the respective frame spar and / or the frame beam sections.

By providing the hinges in combination with the power transmission linkage, it is now possible to take individual seat and / or reclining positions with little effort. This is especially the case when the frame members of a sitting and / or lying element are formed decoupled from each other. This means that only the inclination of a frame spar and / or a frame member section can be changed. The other frame spar and / or its frame spar sections remain undeflected. This is particularly advantageous if the user reads a book and wants to have supported head and / or back only one-sided.

In a further embodiment, the second backrest part forms both a part of the backrest and the headrest. In the seat and / or reclining furniture described here, no separate headrest is present, but this is integrated in the second backrest part. For this purpose, the second backrest part on at least two mutually opposite, mutually parallel frame members, which each have at least two pivot joints, which are advantageously designed as latching fittings have. About the locking fittings, the frame member sections arranged therebetween can be pivoted individually and independently of one another in their inclination, so that different inclination angles of the frame beam sections result for the upper back region as well as for the neck and head region. Particularly advantageous is a first catch fitting firmly connected to the latching fitting carrier.

To stabilize the backrest and thus also the sitting position, every second backrest part has at least two spaced-apart frame spars. In an advantageous embodiment, both frame bars are arranged with their lower end to a rotary joint, which may be part of the latching fitting carrier. Consequently, this results in each frame Holholm already a pivot axis. If a further rotary joint is arranged, it divides the frame beams into said frame beam sections and forms a further pivot axis per frame rail. Consequently, four pivot axes are formed in this example. The frame spars are decoupled from each other. This is advantageous, as this allows each rack spar can be adjusted individually in its inclination. The same applies to the individual frame beam sections.

Due to the decoupling of the frame spars and consequently their different inclination angle settings to one another, the backrest surface can be changed according to individual wishes in a simple and uncomplicated manner. Thus, it is conceivable, for example, to leave both frame spars in an extended starting position, so that a normal sitting position can be assumed. However, it is conceivable to pivot only a single upper frame member section, for example to lean and support the head on one side.

This is advantageous since, as a result, depending on the desired seating position, the backrest can be adjusted in the stretched state and / or in an at least partially pivoted state. Thus, for example, it is conceivable that a frame spar is formed in a nearly stretched starting position such that upper and lower frame beam portion span a common angle of inclination, for example, 180 °, while the second frame spar in a pivoted position in the direction of the seat member and / or in the direction of the back the chair and / or reclining furniture is pivoted. In this case, upper and lower frame spar sections of the second frame spar clamp an angle of <180 ° or> 180 °. This is particularly advantageous if the seating and / or reclining furniture in a slightly oblique seating position, for example, to be used for reading. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that at least one cross member is arranged between the first and second pivot joint and / or after the second pivot joint in the direction of the free end of the respective frame spar. The and / or the cross member crossmember couple the thus interconnected Gestellholmabschnitte. This means that in each case the upper and / or in each case the lower frame member sections can be adjusted together in their inclination.

Further advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the dependent claims.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transfer of the sitting and / or lying element in different positions of use by applying force to the latching fitting carrier and / by applying force to the power transmission linkage feasible. Of course, the positions of use of the seat and / or reclining element described here are not limited to the pure sitting position (first use position) and lying position (second use position), so that between the two use positions any other position is also ingestible. Consequently, the user can individually set and determine the backrest inclination and thus also the pivoting position of the foot part variably and individually.

The transfer, for example, from the first position of use to the second position of use, via a force applied to the latching fitting carrier in the direction of the back side facing away from the back, advantageously in the horizontal direction, take place. After the lower, first backrest part is pivotally attached to the latching fitting, a corresponding horizontal application of force of the latching fitting carrier leads to a deflection of the latching fitting carrier to the rear, so that the entire backrest is displaced to the rear and thus increases the seat depth. In the first use position, the first backrest part at least partially spans the seat surface, whereby a reduced seat depth is predetermined. When transferred to the second position of use, the reduced seat surface of the seat part is released and thus enlarged.

In another embodiment, the force transmission linkage can be acted upon by a force, so that both the first backrest part, as well as the foot part can be moved from the first use position to a further use position by this application of force. This can be done for example by a drive element.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the fitting elements of the first backrest part form a force parallelogram. This is advantageous because it allows a uniform pivoting of the first backrest part about the corresponding bearings.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the front or inside fitting element is formed concavely curved at least in sections in the direction of the lower support. The curvature is always formed in the direction of the back of the sitting and / or lying element, so that an additional recess is created. This additional depression brings an additional relaxing position for the spine to the user, who usually leans on the pad directly to this depression.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the power transmission linkage is designed as a coupling member between the first backrest part and the foot part, wherein the force transmission linkage transmits a deflection of the first backrest part to the foot part and vice versa. The power transmission linkage is therefore suitable for transmitting acting forces from the foot part to the first backrest part and / or from the first backrest part to the foot part, so that both parts can be changed substantially simultaneously in their position and / or inclination and / or pivoting position. Consequently, the operation and the Handling easier for the user, since already only the application of force to the first backrest part (foot part) is sufficient to also pivot the foot part (backrest part) and vice versa.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the latching fitting carrier can be subjected to a compressive force, for example through the back of the user. This pressure force is transmitted via the power transmission linkage on the foot part. This is brought out of its original, first folded-in use position. With pivoting back of the backrest and unfolding of the foot part at the same time the seat is increased. The user can take the pleasant second use position, the lying position.

If now the user wants to change back to the original sitting position, the foot part is subjected to a compressive force, for example via the feet or lower leg areas. With the substantially Nachuntendrücken the foot, this force is transmitted through the power transmission linkage to the first backrest part, so that it is pivoted back to the front and extends at least partially over the seat. This is thereby reduced again in their seat depth.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the power transmission linkage is arranged in a first use position within the substructure. This is advantageous because the substructure provides a lot of space for this and this space is at the same time designed to be dust-proof.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the front or inside fitting element has an extension which extends beyond the lower bearing into the substructure. This extension is already advantageous part of the force transmission linkage and thus allows the already described in detail above coupling between foot and backrest. The extension acts as a lever arm.

Here, it has been found to be particularly advantageous to form the extension Z-shaped and to articulate with the free end via a pivot axis on a cross member. Due to the one-piece design of the front or inside fitting element with the extension of a particularly high stability and a particularly good lever arm is provided so that when force applied to the locking fitting carrier in the horizontal direction to the rear, the Z-shaped extension within the substructure acts as a lever arm. By coupling the free end of the extension with the cross member this is also displaced upon deflection of the first backrest part from the first use position out, advantageously in the direction of the foot part forward.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the cross member is articulated via other fitting elements on the one hand to the foot part and on the other hand to the substructure and arranged below the seat part. Thus, in a simple and power-saving manner, the cross member can be moved in the direction of the foot part, so that the foot part is pivoted as a result of this application of force from its first position of use of the substructure out. The feet or lower leg areas can be put on.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the power transmission linkage further comprises at least one drive element for the deflection of the power transmission linkage. This is advantageous if an even simpler change of the use position is desired. As a drive element, for example, a gas spring with cylinder and piston may be formed, in addition, an electric motor for the appropriate control is necessary.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the seat part and / or the cylinder is always arranged fixed position when changing the position of use. This is advantageous since only the backrest and footrest are positionally variable as a result.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the cross member is designed as a telescopically movable push rod which hinged on the one hand to the extension of the backrest portion pivotally about a pivot axis and on the other hand pivotally mounted on a U-shaped linkage via a bearing, which pivot axis is formed. Particularly advantageously, the cross member has at least one driver on which the piston of the gas spring is arranged. If the gas spring is now actuated by means of an electric motor, and the piston is moved out of the cylinder, for example in the direction of the foot part, then it acts on the driver with the corresponding force, the driver correspondingly changing the length of the telescoping cross member and thus leading it against the foot part. As a result, the foot part, which also has a plurality of fitting elements, correspondingly pivoted out of its original position of use, so that the feet or lower leg areas can be stored thereon.

For this purpose, it is advantageous if the U-shaped linkage has two legs, which are connected to one another via a common base, wherein the two legs are each arranged at their free ends on bearings pivotally mounted on the substructure and / or the base and wherein the push rod is pivotally hinged centrally on the base via a connection point. This training as part of the force transmission linkage is advantageous because this can be done on the foot part of a particularly effective force transmission of the electric motor and gas spring. At the same time, however, not only the foot part is deflected from its first position of use, but also the first backrest part. Of course, the changes described here the use positions are always reversible to understand, so that also from the lying position again the sitting position can be taken with a shortened seat depth.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the inclination of the drive element in a first position of use of the seat and / or reclining element is designed to be greater than the inclination of the transverse spar in the same position. This is advantageous since, upon further application of force, the cross member can be lifted when transferred to the second position of use, which in turn causes a more effective transmission of force.

Advantages and expediencies can be found in the following description in conjunction with the drawing.

1 a first schematic sectional view of a seat and / or reclining furniture according to the invention in a first use position

2 a schematic sectional view of a seat and / or reclining furniture according to the invention in a second use position.

In 1 is a schematic sectional view of a sitting and / or lying furniture 1 shown in a first position of use. This first use position is the sitting position.

For better illustration, both in 1 as well as in 2 the upholstery elements not shown.

The sitting and / or lying furniture according to the invention 1 has a substructure 2 on. This substructure 2 For example, it can be designed as a frame and, for example, be upholstered or unpadded. How out 1 it can be seen has the substructure 2 in the area of the foot part 4 a greater height than in the back of the backrest 6 , The backrest 6 is formed mehrgliedrig and has a first backrest part 8th and a second backrest part 10 on.

The first backrest part 8th turn is from a front or inner fitting element 11 and a rear or outer fitting element 12 educated. Both hardware elements 11 . 12 are with their free ends on the one hand to a carrier 14 over camp 16 . 18 pivoted pivoted. The carrier itself is with its underside on the substructure 2 firmly arranged, for example screwed.

The other free ends of the fittings 11 . 12 are on the locking fitting carrier 20 over camp 22 . 24 pivoted pivoted. It has proved to be particularly advantageous if the front or inside fitting element 11 has a concave curvature K. As a result, the sitting position can be made even more comfortable for the user and the lower back area. At the locking fitting carrier is on the other side, the second backrest part 10 via a first catch fitting 34 arranged. The second backrest part 10 advantageously has a frame spar 26 on, which in two frame spar sections 28 . 30 is subdivided. Both frame spar sections 28 . 30 are via a catch fitting 32 separated from each other and can over this catch fitting 32 be changed in their inclination to each other. The second catch fitting 34 serves to further pleasant Verschwenkungen the frame spar sections 28 . 30 to enable.

Both catch fittings 32 . 34 each form a pivot axis. So now the second backrest part 10 can be pivoted comfortably and evenly, are within the second backrest part 10 two corresponding frame spars 26 arranged with corresponding four locking fittings (not shown here).

In the substructure 2 is still below the carrier 14 , the extension 36 arranged. The extension 36 is part of the front or inside fitting element 11 and is formed with this one-piece. By the arrangement of the extension 36 within the substructure 2 this provides a lever arm when the first backrest part 8th is deflected from the first use position shown here. The extension 36 is about a pivot axis on the cross member 38 arranged. This cross member in turn is about more fitting elements 40 on the substructure 2 on the one hand and on the foot part 4 on the other hand articulated pivotally about a plurality of pivot axes and / or bearings.

Now, for example, the locking fitting carrier 20 with a horizontal force F applied, which from the direction of the foot part 4 on the locking fitting carrier 20 acts, so this is moved towards the back to the rear. The Swiveling the backrest 6 done by the bearings 16 . 18 . 22 and 24 , The locking fitting carrier 20 remains during the application of force and the deflection from the first use position out always in a horizontal position.

This application of force F also requires at the same time a deflection of the extension 36 in the direction of the foot part 4 forward, whereby at the same time the cross member 38 and the other hardware elements 40 also forward in the direction of the foot part 4 be moved. This has the consequence that the fitting elements 42 . 44 of the foot part 4 also be given away from their first use position and the footrest 46 from the substructure 2 is pushed out or swung out. The further the first backrest part 8th is pivoted to the rear, the farther the foot part 4 from the substructure 2 herausverschwenkt.

The corresponding pivoting position and thus second use position, namely the lying position is in 2 shown. The same reference numerals correspond to the same components and are not explained again hereby. In 2 it can be seen that the first backrest part 8th is now arranged obliquely back up, so that the seat 48 is formed enlarged. The user thus has more seating space 48 in the lying position available. At the same time it can also be seen that the cross member 38 has undergone a change in inclination and here in the second position of use obliquely forward up in the direction of the foot 4 extends.

In addition, the foot part 4 with the footrest 46 fully swung trained. The footrest 46 itself is arranged in a horizontal direction so that the feet or lower leg areas can be laid comfortably on it.

In addition, the footrest 46 arranged higher than the advantageous padded substructure 2 so that the user's legs on the substructure 2 can be stored and the feet or lower leg areas but this slightly increased positionable. Overall, in the second use position results in a particularly relaxing and comfortable posture for the user.

The application of force to the deflection of the first backrest part 8th from the first position of use in the second position of use can be done for example by manual pressing with the back. Due to the advantageous power transmission linkage, which at least by the extension 36 , the crossbar 38 , the other hardware components 40 is formed, a predeterminable pressurization with the back, that the first backrest part is sufficient 8th moved backwards and the foot part 4 immediately from its substantially vertical position from the substructure 2 is pivoted out.

If the seat position is to be assumed again starting from the lying position, it is sufficient to apply the force to the foot part 4 , for example, by pressing down with feet or teat areas. The power transmission linkage continues the pressure application and results in that the first backrest part 8th is pivoted from the lying position back into the sitting position. From both 1 and 2 It can be seen that, regardless of the use positions and the pivoting of the backrest 6 and the foot part 4 the orientation of the seat 48 always remains unchanged and this positionally stable in position, that is unchanged, is arranged.

Particularly advantageous for enabling the pivoting of the backrest 6 or their individual parts 8th and 10 as well as the foot part 4 Slots provided in the upholstery.

In addition to the manual transfer of the sitting and / or lying furniture shown here 1 between the different use positions, it is also conceivable to provide a drive element. In the simplest case, the drive element is provided as a gas spring in combination with an electric motor. The electric motor can, for example, on the substructure 2 be arranged. At the same time it is conceivable, the piston of the gas spring to a driver of the transverse spar 38 to hinge. Depending on the design of the gas spring and the electric motor, it is possible at the touch of a button or even wirelessly, for example via an app to control the electric motor such that both foot part 4 as well as the first backrest part 8th in dependence on each other, namely on the power transmission linkage, can be adjusted in their inclination.

All features disclosed in the application documents are claimed as essential to the invention, provided they are novel and inventive individually or in combination with respect to the prior art.
